    Americans can vote, and a majority of them voted for this a short few months ago. This is exactly what he said he would do. This is what he did the previous 4 years he was in power. Americans want this. They don’t even have the excuse of popular vote this time around. They fully committed to this.

        I’m not fighting in a violent revolution against an insane retarded fascist controlling the most powerful military on earth because some people explicitly chose to not prevent the fascist from taking office out of their sense of virtue pearl clutching.

        I’m not fighting in a fucking violent revolution against an insane retarded fascist controlling the most powerful military on earth because some people explicitly chose to not prevent the fascist from taking office out of their desire to pressure me to fight in a fucking revolution (left accelerationists), I hope they have fun getting shot/tortured by fascists.

        I owe both of these groups nothing. I did not choose to be born and I did not choose their revolution, I’m out. I hope they’re happy with the shitty world they’ve enabled.

          Violent revolution isn’t option 2 but it might very well be necessary, and I don’t blame you for wanting no part of it but we’ll all be thankful if it happens. People have had to make tough choices in the face of fascism and evil throughout history and it’s only thanks to them that those things have been rebuffed in the past.

      Yup.

      As an American I can confirm that Americans are fucking stupid.

      Hope you’re comfortable with us having the most powerful military to ever exist. I’m certainly not.

        49.8% (so rounding it would be 50%) and 3 million people more than in 2020. And a whole a while 14 million more than in 2016. Eligible voters who didn’t vote made an explicit choice and are equally complicit.

        They had a choice of a dumbass and literal criminal and a prosecutor and they made their choice.
